6x6 Mini

I was recently asked about what I use to make Mini Albums. I thought I would share with you my inexpensive way of using cardboard. I mostly use Cereal Boxes. When my kids are finished with a box of cereal they know NOT to throw away the box! The box goes on Mommy's craft desk. I started this mini and took pictures after I cut the box down to a 6x6 and 2x6 pieces. I used a paper pack from Close To My Heart. It's called "Key to My Heart". Here is the pictures of the paper




Here are the pieces of cereal boxes after I covered them with designer paper and cardstock.(Front and Back)


Here is the final product:








I hope you like it and remember....no more cereal boxes go in the trash! Have fun with this one and give it a try! Here are the supplies I used: Close To My Heart, Making Memories, Cosmo Cricket, American Crafts, and Stampin Up.

Weekly Planner








I bought this Weekly Calendar about 3 weeks ago from Suzette, my local Close To My Heart Rep. I had a hard time finding the perfect cover title but with lots of advice from all my friends at Cafemom and my dear cousin Yvonnia I finally made a decision. I took a few pictures of the inside also. I stamped the months with Close To My Hearts "Playful Caps" alpha letters. This project was inspired by a blog named Altered State of Mind. I just had to make my own planner. Here is the link to her blog: http://www.alteredstateofmine.com/

Another Mini








Here is another Mini I made with the left over paper from the last Mini. I left the cover plain because I'm not quit sure what I'm going to put inside yet. I hope you like it.

What I did today.....





My mom put in a special request for a Wedding Card and Birthday Cards. So here they are.....I also added some any occasion cards for fun.

May ATC's



The theme for May is Fairies.....I bought a Ketto stamp from Stamping Bella just for these cards! I used the Far East Matstack for the background and the Scallop Oval Punch from Stampin up.

I hope you have a Fairy Good Day!!

Waterfall Card








I made this card also 2 weeks ago at Scrap-n-Stamp. When you pull down on the ribbon pully it creates a waterfall affect. It's super cute....I can't wait to make another one!

Oh Boy Mini Album











I made this super cute Mini Album 2 weeks ago at Scrap-n-Stamp. (A locate scrapbooking store in Elk Grove, Ca.) It was SO easy....I just love making things there.

Mother's Day Flowers



I know this is late! Sorry....My boys painted these flowers for their Grama Esther, Grama Suzy, and Aunt Amber. They had a blast with the paint! (It's a good thing I made them paint these outside) :)

Another Bargain Find! Giveaway Also!



As you know I LOVE to go out and find bargains on supplies that are often times SO expensive. I went to the Beverly's Crafts in Carmichael today and everything was 50% off the red sticker price. I spend a total of $30.00 for everything on the table!

When I find great deals you know I love to share! I will send a package with 5 items from the loot to the 3rd person to leave a comment on this posting! Good Luck!!

Randy's School Picture



This project is long over due! The apples and school bus embellishments are on foam stickers to give them dimension. I made another one for his "Student of the Week" Awards.
